Summary

Lawrence County High School serves 586 students in grades 9-12 in Moulton, Alabama, as part of the Lawrence County district, where about half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

This school has several notable strengths that stand out when compared to nearby schools. Most impressive is the dramatic improvement in attendance—chronic absenteeism dropped from 23.2% to just 8.6% over two years, which is now far better than the state average of 12.0% and significantly better than Hatton High School's 21.2% rate. The graduation rate of 95.5% also exceeds both district and state averages. Science is a clear bright spot academically, with 36.22% of 11th graders scoring proficient—matching the state average and far exceeding district peers like Hatton (22.06%) and East Lawrence High School (30.23%). The school also achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,459) than neighboring schools, suggesting efficient use of resources.

The most recent year shows positive momentum, with improvements across all subjects and the best overall ranking since 2017-2018. However, math (16.54% proficient) and English (20.00% proficient) still trail state averages, indicating room for growth. While the school's overall rating is 2 stars, it outperforms Hatton High School in overall ranking and matches East Lawrence High School closely, despite serving a similar student population. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with strong attendance, solid graduation rates, and a particularly effective science program—all signs of a school working hard to improve outcomes for its students.
